Over Write Value in Session State?

[Leon]

Can you write over a value in session or do you have to delete the value
first then re-create it?

**Example:
I have the following value in session state...
Statement 1 -- Session.Add("Email", "someone@ someplace.com ")

And I want to change it to the following value...
Statement 2 -- Session.Add("Email", "someone@ msn.com ")

Do I just execute statement 2 or do I have to delete statement 1 first?

Session("Email") = "so*****@msn.com"

Leon,

A sure bet is to reference the value directly as in the following:

C#:
Session["itemname"] = value;

VB.Net:
Session("itemname") = value

This method of accessing the session will set the original value, or
overright the value previously contained in the session.

Thanks,
